Our students must know that who they are matters, what they believe matters, and what they become matters." Our students at Shiloh Christian are the hope for tomorrow. Shiloh Christian School is the largest Christian school in Northwest Arkansas. Because of that, we carry an immense responsibility to live out our mission of developing godly leaders who will engage their culture and change it. Now more than ever we need Christ-centered leaders that are trained and equipped to enter the current world that we live in. Our students must know that who they are matters, what they believe matters, and what they become matters. Everyone who is a part of our Shiloh Family has a vested interest in the success of our students because we know that they are the light that will soon enter universities and work places across the nation and world. At Shiloh, we are committed to excellence. Our staff will provide an exceptional academic experience, aid in the spiritual development of our students, incorporate first class fine arts, collegiate level athletic experiences, and teach our students how to serve our local community well. It is my goal to continue to improve our facilities so they match the excellence that happens within this incredible school each day. Shiloh Family, the best years are ahead of us. I can say that with confidence because it is nothing that any one of us are doing here at Shiloh. Christ is simply at the center of what we do here, and we are humbly the branch. We are developing godly leaders who will engage our culture and change it! I ask that you commit to the future of Shiloh with me! Remember: “Purpose is where your organization’s distinctive gifts intersect with the needs of the world.” -Joey Reiman Thank you for allowing me to serve you as Superintendent of Shiloh Christian School. Dear Shiloh Family, Words cannot express my love and gratitude for all of the families, students, faculty, and alumni that make Shiloh such a special place. Lauren and I have been welcomed with open arms, and we are so thankful to be a part of this great family. We are committed to Shiloh Christian School and are energized as we look to the future.

No one knew what to expect when we opened our doors weeks earlier than other schools in the area, but God knew. Every step of the way, God provided. He watched over us as we continued in-person learning in our classrooms. He allowed us to complete all of our sports seasons and blessed us with many championships. We performed musicals and programs for socially distanced audiences. We found creative ways to keep our Shiloh traditions and even made some new ones. God’s hand has been upon us, and our response is gratitude. The Shiloh Family has never been more thankful for God’s favor on our school. We have learned to treat each school day as if it may be our last one together, to play each game like it could be the last one in the season, to attend each event with a renewed sense of unity and thankfulness that we can be together, and to enjoy our Shiloh Family like never before. In the midst of a global crisis, we found a way to love one another better and to once again be a light to Northwest Arkansas. We have been filled with His eternal hope. Our story doesn’t end here. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, “But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere.” As we move into the next school year, let’s continue in an attitude of thankfulness and take the hope that we have in Him into the world around us.

This year, over 150 6th-9th grade students were involved in Shiloh’s Service and Leadership Team (S.A.L.T.) program. Finding service opportunities during a global pandemic was challenging, but this group worked hard, shared the love of Christ, and made a major impact in our community despite the challenges they faced. S.A.L.T. members took four major field trips this year including a 6th grade service day at Feed the 479 where they formed an assembly line to fill the carts for food distribution, re-stocked the food pantry, packed bags, and loaded groceries into vehicles for families in need. The 7th graders participated in a service day at the NWA Food Bank and packed food boxes for local elementary schools. The 8th and 9th grade boys partnered with Operation Open Season and Northwest Arkansas Community College to build a deer blind that was placed on local land for veterans to use. The 8th and 9th grade girls spent a day at Restoration Village raking leaves, clearing limbs, moving pavers, and cleaning up the space for the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy (CLA) Impact Project play structures. These students also completed seven major projects on campus. They created and sent 150 cards each month to Village on the Park and Village on the Creek Senior Living Centers to encourage residents during the pandemic. They filled 1,500 Easter eggs for an Easter egg hunt hosted by Children’s Therapy Team. They held a food drive at school for Feed the 479 and collected 1,125 canned food products. This team also raised over $3000 for the Restoration Village - Hope for Holidays campaign to help women and children in need over the holidays and donated/ collected over 2,000 hygiene products for the Rogers VFW to benefit HOUSE, Inc to minister to veterans in crisis. S.A.L.T. members participated in Do Good December by making encouraging bracelets and helped donate over 700 games for Tyson Elementary School students. To end their incredible year of service, the team raised funds for the CLA Impact project Saints Assembling Hope.

DR. NICK GLEASON 6 FACULTY SPOTLIGHT ׉ 7cassandra://soQq-U6IKCgf_hL1MX2iE9NhsXbdkmwQxZQ2bCRLbbk-`a%[';׉E What inspired your love of science? I enjoy finding satisfying explanations for why the world ticks the way that it does. It's not too far off from wanting to know the secret behind a magician’s illusion. Science allows me to look behind the curtain. What are the last three books you read? • An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green • Dune by Frank Herbert • A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin What are three things your students have taught you? • Having an expert-understanding of chemistry is not essential for everyone. I’ve frequently seen the quote, “Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about” posted on social media and it sometimes reminds me of my students. Many have a lot going on personally, and I try to be more empathetic than I used to when they struggle. • The world would be a happier place if all school, personal, and life decisions were multiple choice. Unfortunately, they are not. • I am always going to be about three years behind the current youthful trends. *Dabs Name three things that bring you joy: • Kayaking with my wife, Jamie • Riding bicycles with my kids • Making lists What motivated you to start “Fire Friday?” I enjoy all good demonstrations that can showcase different chemistry concepts, but fire experiments have always elicited the best response from students. For example, I could be showing how acids and bases could change the colors of different substances but would be met with “But can we light it on fire?” Since fire was requested so frequently, I found it easier to tell them to “just wait till Friday” to at least keep the fire demos exclusive to one specific day. Why did you choose to teach at Shiloh? I was finishing up graduate school when I was searching for research lab positions. I knew Debbie Diehm from church, and she asked if I’d be interested in teaching just a single College Chemistry course part-time. It was the only teaching job interview I did, while the others were for laboratory positions. Greg Jones, the secondary dean at the time, encouraged me to consider and pray about taking the educational path full-time. After a week of prayer, I felt led to the frightening world of high school teaching. Now, it’s hard for me to imagine not being a teacher.

Through partnerships forged with the North American Mission Board (NAMB), GenSend, and SendRelief the students were given an opportunity to meet the needs of a community that desperately needed to hear the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 16 GME TRIP ׉ 7cassandra://I9w4ELx5FBGj6XcapgWMaXGLN_AIlKUTTZtyx9JLYb8(`a%['E׉ESUMMER 2021 On Friday, March 19, eleven students traveled from their senior trip at Lost Valley Ranch to Journey Point Church at Central Park in East Denver where they attended orientation with Pastor Chris Phillips, a church planter in the area. On Saturday, they partnered with what will soon be the first Laotian church in all of Colorado to distribute food to people facing short-term or long-term food insecurity. Sunday morning, the group attended church at Storyline Fellowship in Arvada, Colorado with pastor J.T. English. After church, they traveled to Longmont, Colorado to prayer walk around the city in partnership with a future church plant. On Monday, they served in the Boulder, Colorado community and partnered with a group from Gainesville, Florida and local church leaders to meet physical and spiritual needs in the area. Tuesday began with discipleship training by J.T. English, and was followed by serving "Packs of Hope" to fill up over 50 backpacks with clothes and personal items for children entering the foster care system. On the final day of the journey, the group attended discipleship and evangelism training with Matt Horn, pastor of Calvary New City Church. Pastor Horn's church is on Colfax Street in East Denver; a street infamously nicknamed "The wickedest street in the west." He shared the first-hand story of a Syrian refugee who helped him clean up parts of Colfax Street and minister to vulnerable members of the Denver community. The 2021 Denver GME provided countless servant leadership opportunities, in-depth discipleship, partnerships and friendships that will last a lifetime, and the hands-on experience it takes to develop godly leaders who will impact their culture and change it.

Shiloh’s CLA consisted of 87 sophomores and juniors who participated in monthly Leader Labs to learn servant leadership principles, and practice tangible skills. The student’s year of training culminated with a major student-led project to make a difference in their community. Despite a global pandemic, the group found a way to safely meet a major need for a local faith-based women’s and children’s shelter called Restoration Village through their Impact Project deemed “Saints Assembling 18 IMPACT 2021 Restoration Village is a nonprofit, faith-based shelter that opened in 1989 and provides residents with on-site housing, counseling, equine therapy, advocacy services, enrichment trips, activities, and transportation services. The shelter serves about 50 women and children annually, and had a “modest playground with few features nearing the end of its usefulness,” according to Kris Adams, Development Director at Restoration Village. "It was functional," he said "but this is more Hope.” According to Alicia Brown, who directs the program at Shiloh, “They worked on finding a need in the community, developing a concept, designing the playground, raising all of the money, leading other students throughout the experience, and ultimately building the playground with their own hands - along with support from the community.” ABOVE Chick-fil-A Leader Academy students posed at the grand opening ceremony 01. The Ninja warrior area was designed for teen residents. 02. Students constructed the bridge on Building Day. 03. Students worked in four hour shifts. 04.

This is night and day - It will change lives." CLA leaders divided into critical teams to take on finances, design, logistics, marketing, communications, and safety. They met during and after school hours, and went above and beyond to accomplish a weighty project that could have easily overwhelmed a group of teenagers. They planned several days to build the play structures and were also responsible for a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony. According to Wilson Jones, junior and co-leader for the events and logistics team, “Once we had planned everything, and finally arrived at the campus, we worked in shifts throughout the day to complete the project. The entire 01 02 experience was challenging and pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone.” He had to work on the project around his school schedule, send emails to the entire student body, and approach businesses in the community to help pay for food for the build, and the ribbon cutting ceremony. "I'm just a high-schooler, and it was really scary to me," Jones said about asking for donations. The students didn't back away from the challenge and raised about $12,000 to cover the entire cost of the playground. In addition to asking area businesses for in-kind and monetary donations, the students received a micro-grant of $1,500 from Chick-fil-A and raised about $1,700 through a “Sweats Day” at the school. Students were permitted to wear sweats to school for one day in April for a minimum donation of $5 toward the project.

The students also built a ninja-warrior style course in a valley west of the shelter and three hammock stations by the shelter's pond. “The playground and features not only will create safe play spaces for shelter youth but will help them cope with the stresses of trauma by offering physical activities,” Adams said. “The former playground was unable to meet the same life-changing need,” he said. “They didn't use a prefabricated playground; they built the play structures themselves, and they are crazy smart. They did the entire thing and simply kept us in the loop.” Overcoming the multitude of challenges associated with a pandemic coupled with the ability to meet a major need in a selfless way will impact the student leaders for a lifetime. Jones said the experience has inspired him to do more in the future beyond after-school service projects. "There are needs in our community everywhere," he said. "I've learned that if I put my mind to something, I can get it done." Shiloh will continue to communicate with Restoration Village to better understand how the school can help meet additional needs of the shelter and its residents in the future. According to Kortney Carnes, co-sponsor of the group, "CLA meets Shiloh’s mission of raising the next generation of godly leaders who engage their culture and change it in a true and tangible way." 03 05 02 04 To give financially and become a part of the Shiloh Legacy, visit www.shilohsaints.org/legacy 22 20 IMPACT 2021 ׉ 7cassandra://TZiDzqe5EGso_-LwjHajaLDGVThYNsAM1n7UUtzxkRg,`a%['I׉ESUMMER 2021 HONORING BEN MAYES Ben and Sue Mayes have given Shiloh Christian School 21 years of their lives.

Before I started serving Shiloh, I worked at a trauma center in NWA. I love emergency medicine, and it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. When I felt God calling me to apply for the nurse position at Shiloh, I had never considered becoming a school nurse as part of His plan. God had given me everything I had hoped for in my career, but I couldn’t stay if He wanted me to serve somewhere else. Serving Shiloh has been such a blessing. When I left the emergency room, I didn’t know what the future held, but God placed me in a position that I truly enjoy, surrounded by wonderful people. I am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to serve at Shiloh. 26 NURSE MANDY JONES ׉ 7cassandra://86pJ4H_8PRwxh6cFgLckUphFxwadWuon5MfV1tYBxoE)f`a%['O׉ESUMMER 2021 Tell me what your “typical” day looks like: Nurses don’t really have “typical days” due to the human factor in medicine. Every day is different and brings a new agenda. At the beginning of a typical school year, my schedule is always fast and furious with preparations, screenings, immunizations and yearly requirements. We check every student to see if we need to make any accommodations, update staff concerning any medical concerns, and connect with parents to be sure we keep everyone safe. In addition to this, I teach CPR and Stop the Bleed to our staff and students. Training others in life-saving skills is one of the perks of my job. As a school nurse, how has your role changed because of COVID-19? When we closed the school doors in March of 2020, we made a sudden transition to virtual learning. Like every other parent, my children and I had to make the unexpected transition. I discovered how hard it is to work and teach my kids. During this time, I also returned to the hospital. It was valuable to see firsthand how the hospitals were protecting our community. It gave me important insight as we developed our process for returning to school. In July, there were so many unknowns about the virus and information would change daily. I worked with the leadership team, our Athletic Trainer, community resources, and local experts to develop a detailed plan so that our kids could have a safe learning environment. The day before school started in August, the reality of the pandemic sunk in. So many people were depending on us to keep our campus safe and healthy. My daily prayer became, “God let us do it Your way, and You will get all the glory for Your work.” I have had a front row seat to watch Him work and let me just say - He loves to put on a show. We have such an amazing faculty that loves our students and the community. When we presented our process to return to school during in-service, our faculty stepped up to the challenge and taught classes in a new setting. Did you expect to ever work in a situation like COVID-19 after graduating from nursing school? We didn't discuss pandemics much in nursing school because our country is blessed to have medical interventions NURSE MANDY JONES 27 to protect people. Even in the Emergency Department, we would practice for community disaster response and how to handle single cases of high infectiousness, but I never imagined I would experience what COVID-19 brought to our lives. What has this Pandemic experience taught you? God is in control even when circumstances are uncertain. During this season, we continually saw His protection over our campus. When I had to be away to take care of my family, God provided the right people at the right time. God has continued to show me that He's got this - all of it. He provided everything when we needed it, and it all fit His perfect plan. When He does things, even things we don’t understand, He's still working for our good. What's the best part about being a school nurse? School nurse, ER nurse, Camp Nurse, Nurse - no matter what my title is, the best part about my job is helping people. Fixing problems, comforting, educating, encouraging, are all the things that I get to do and call it a career. It is so rewarding to know that someone is better because you helped them. Advice to Someone considering Nursing as a Career: If you feel God is calling you to nursing, start small. I took first aid at age eight, started lifeguarding in my teens, became a first responder, and then pursued nursing. Every step gave me new skills to help others with an opportunity to also share Jesus. The world needs more people helping each other, and it's never too late to start. ׉ 7cassandra://09WCKboDNGTKFcZp-xKaVdW6xqK91t66mFkZpm4_13w!`a%['Pa%['Op(בCט8(u׉׉ 7cassandra://2IsTcpLGyslDk_JEzTSoLqVru6cqXudnTKHqyqFxIus_j`z׉ 7cassandra://amWttlTaNlAvcfq8BgvXsuXY1Cp1mxznAQ12r_a8jdYl`׉ 7cassandra://bM0qsLap3UkXMCONliEoNjSxLFK6TrM1RKdMrn6s-Yg'{`׉ 7cassandra://tVSdqd7QMpJ7fRPAl6ZKP_-fHaST4em_Uq6G941fEM4t͠a%['ט88(u׉׉ 7cassandra://uAcEfAnKxV3uDOQxHZoRta1vgnLbVjcVQ7Vu5n8qr4Upr`z׉ 7cassandra://JiMt_fsVcUELUvPGw9EKzjzkJemIpbGKkWUpKEeTWzwp"`׉ 7cassandra://fSZzV0dka-KndDtnLVP7C5JGYjjI7kaQEsSQ8TXiKyo'`׉ 7cassandra://fEj-R9bpDXo70c93g46CMqBry2ZzZwqJm8cPPuY4Bvgq͠a%['׉ESHILOH TODAY Class of 2021 Shiloh Christian School’s 39th graduating class of 63 students was honored in a memorable ceremony on Tuesday, May 18, 2021.

We have been immensely blessed this year to be able to create Champions Hall. It will house eight new state-of-the-art classrooms that will increase our students' atmosphere and performance. We also renovated our choir and band room to provide a first-class space for our students' musical development, and we resurfaced our basketball court with an incredible court design to inspire our court sport athletes. Following the court renovations, we updated our basketball and volleyball concessions area to increase the fan base experience. Then we completely renovated our weight facility to increase the efficiency and production of our student athletes. Additionally, we are upgrading our educational technology to ensure that our faculty and students have the tools they need to be at the forefront of education. Current families and alumni, I urge you to commit to Shiloh financially so that we may continue to improve our school and better equip the next generation of Christ-followers.
